Those who have been too busy during the week to take advantage of early voting opportunities can cast their ballots Saturday, thanks to a state mandate.Since state legislators reduced the number of early voting days from 45 to 21, they added a Saturday to the list of early voting opportunities, Bulloch County Elections Superintendent Pat Lanier Jones said.At both the Bulloch County Courthouse and the Honey Bowen Building on Max Lockwood Drive this Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., residents can vote early and avoid lines on Election Day, Nov. 6.Early voting opportunities also will be available next week from Monday through Friday at both the Bulloch County Courthouse and the Honey Bowen Building, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.“I’d like to continue encouraging Georgians across the state to take advantage of early voting,” Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp said. “If you’ve been unable to vote early during the week due to work or personal reasons, please take advantage of this additional resource.”Turnout for early voting so far has been steady, Jones said. Georgia Southern University students also had a chance to vote on campus.
